“Hotel Rwanda” scribe Keir Pearson has been hired to write the screenplay.

Tony Krantz, the former head of Imagine Entertainment’s television division and executive producer on shows such as 24, has teamed up with Origin Entertainment and the Mother Teresa Center to bring the story of Mother Teresa to the big screen with a biopic titled I Thirst.

Keir Pearson, the Oscar-nominated scribe who co-wrote Hotel Rwanda, has been tapped to pen the script telling the story of the Albanian-born Catholic sister whose work with the poor in India made her a worldwide icon.

Krantz, whose credits also include NBC’s Dracula, Felicity and Sports Night, will produce the project via his Flame Ventures banner along with Origin’s Jamey Volk. Also involved are the legal trustees of Teresa’s estate, giving this biopic an official stamp of approval as well as access to rarely seen archives.
